5100 Install 885 Front Superflex Rear 2005 V8

So as the title says I'm trying to get my lift installed this next weekend and have been slowly collecting the suspension components. I have the 5100's sitting in my spare room and the superflex/ 885 coils are on order. I plan on going the no spring compressor method mentioned: OME Install - no spring compressor - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum
I plan on running it with my stock sport wheels and tires for a few weeks until I get some Lvl 8 mk6's. and Falken Wildpeak at3w 285/70-17
Also I want to add JBA UCA's in the next couple months.
Should I wait to pay for an alignment until I add the new UCA's?
Are the UCA's something I should just do when I have the suspension all apart?
I am deleting the Stock Xreas Btw. Can't wait for the transformation to my Rig!

Also shout out to anyone who can tell me how to add a signature!

I'd start hitting everything with PB Blaster (or similar) now and throughout the week leading up to the install. I'd also replace the top hats while you have it apart, I used the KYBs off amazon and they were great. Good luck, post pics!

Do yourself a favor - before you do anything, go to Firestone and get a lifetime alignment. I say before because some Firestones will try to say they don't work on lifted vehicles. But once you have already bought the lifetime alignment, they are obligated.

Then you can install your lift and get it aligned. If you need more caster, get the JBA's and get it aligned. If a tie rod goes bad, replace it and get it aligned. If you hit something on the trails and knock out your alignment... you guessed it - go to Firestone and get it aligned.

It's like $199 but there is usually a coupon for $20 off or so. Pays for itsself after 2 alignment.

I was thinking about going to firestone to get my alignment after I install 5100's and 885/ Superflex this weekend.
Glad you mentioned the idea to get it done before so i'm locked in with lifetime Alignments. I'm going to see how it is without the JBA's for a bit but i'll prob end up ordering them after I get new tires.

Aside from the 5100's, that would be identical to my setup (Details in signature). I absolutely love it. Just did the first big trip with it (IN > CO and back) Very comfortable on road and off road!

And as far as editing your signature, click the gear icon in the top right-ish corner of the screen. That will take you to the settings menu. Then just click "Edit signature".
